they actually had leaked docs in the dark web for a awhile now that showed that gov agencies could de anonymize monero users. i think it was a leaked italian gov document if i remember correctly
Would be interested in how to get into monero. Any Guides / videos that people know about for beginners specifically for the purpose using it as a way to spend it like the video has said, and also guides on how to add monero to online stores fronts would be greatly appreciated. Thxs in advance. (edited for spelling)
Here's the problem with Monero. It may be private and secure in transit between people. However, withdrawing it into cash is more hassle, and arguably less private, than the crypto pushers would have you believe.
Maybe a n00b question but if they generate decoy outputs doesn't that leave those nodes to identification as poisoned nodes by flagging this behaviour?
With these and other "0 day" methods EVERYTHING you do can be recorded on your smartphone especially if you're a target. VPN, Tor, Monero "good OPSEC" etc. doesn't matter if they've recorded everything you do and your passwords, right?
does monero has a legal corporation registered? if so put a EULA that running a malicious monero node is in direct breach of teh EULA and that in casa that is true the monero corp can sue whoever made the malicious node, lets use their rules against them
What I don't understand is how running your own node is safer. Can they not just see what node a transaction originated from and find the node's IP address?
If a transaction originates at a user's node, peer nodes could totally see where the transaction appears to have come from. However: 1) Not all peer nodes are evil 2) Secure connectivity (e.g., the TOR network) can obfuscate transaction origin So you're not wrong under some assumptions but you have a choice to change those assumptions such that you're effectively ~safe.
I think you should do a video on P2P "exchanges" where its just 2 strangers agreeing to exchange X amounts of different crypto's. Afaik its probably the best method of directly acquiring XMR as long as your initial setup is secure like you mentioned with temp wallets etc.
It's easier for your ISP to trace your Node. It's even easier for your hosting company to maliciously modify your Node. Possibilities are ♾️ So develop your threat model. Most people don't have technical expertise to run nodes. It's also very costly. Also, if you can't self-host it, that's another attack surface your are adding.
@@alltheruss dam i know nothing 😭 thought i learned so much more when i learnt about dread and the history of markets but no i don’t know basic crypto stuff 😂
On the topic of an intermediary wallet, what if I was making a new wallet every time I use monero? (Yes this is inefficient, I use monero maybe once or twice a year)
Using anything on mobile for secure communication is the worst thing to do. Cloud communications makes any and all security null and void. All it takes is copy paste if a wallet and law enforcement have enough evidence to prosecute if someone is doing some less than legal.
Don’t forget even on laptop/pc’s I wouldn’t doubt there’s ways for Apple and PC companies to reveal you. Apple made a change a couple years ago that lets them ignore the network layer, and any encrypted tunnels. Shady af.
I don't understand. Isn't cloud communications just communicating using a third party server between you and the recipient so if you end to end encrypt you'll be fine, no? And what's being copy pasted, the encrypted information from the server's hard drive?
@@osku388 It depends on the service. Take Signal, for instance. It's End 2 End Encrypted (E2EE), but NOT by default. It has to be turned on in the conversation WHILE the other person is ALSO online. It's such a lame way to enact it. So for everyone else, they might not even realize they're NOT E2EE. They just hear, 'ooh, Signal is good and secure, I'll use that', but they never turn E2EE on. We can't trust these companies, they DO NOT have our best interests at heart. And back to Signal, the French released the CEO, but even though he can't leave France, I wouldn't doubt he gave SOMETHING up to make a deal. Remember, the Signal CEO HATED Putin, and even left Russia because they wanted him bad. Now a few years later, the Russian Military uses Signal for secure telecom? And now the CEO is also buddy buddy with China's leader, and the Saudi's? All these authoritarian leaders suddenly like the guy? Nah, I don't buy that. Nobody could crack the encryption, they gave him ultimatums/or deals were made, and now they're all chummy. All those people were after that Signal CEO's butt for ages, now they're friends? pffft. I don't trust Signal. We need an open source blockchain type of thing for telecom. Like Bitcoin, or Monero, but for messaging. There's no way to change a whole blockchain without knowing someone is spying on you.

@@MateoC-f4n serai, basic swap, wizard swap, stealthex, and exolix are all non-kyc exchanges mate, and getting dirty coins that change hands outside of kyc cexes are not an issue, also haveno is a fiat dex

but getting monero from an atomic swap wouldn't be an issue since it's fully fongible right? might be an issue for cashing out obviously
I'm out of my depth here but how can you be sure that the "leaked" video was actually real and not another layer of bait?
even if it is bait, isn't it always great to have extra layers of security no matter what?
they actually had leaked docs in the dark web for a awhile now that showed that gov agencies could de anonymize monero users. i think it was a leaked italian gov document if i remember correctly
Put up or shut up.
@CU.SpaceCowboy with nodes or another way?
psyop
Taxes towards this over actual criminals
Great video like alwasys. Keep up the gokd work.
Have you seen the GODOT and REDOT issue going on? Would like to see your take on it.
hope most people know that kitty with the tinfoil hat is right
Would be interested in how to get into monero. Any Guides / videos that people know about for beginners specifically for the purpose using it as a way to spend it like the video has said, and also guides on how to add monero to online stores fronts would be greatly appreciated.
Thxs in advance.

Here's the problem with Monero. It may be private and secure in transit between people. However, withdrawing it into cash is more hassle, and arguably less private, than the crypto pushers would have you believe.
Maybe a n00b question but if they generate decoy outputs doesn't that leave those nodes to identification as poisoned nodes by flagging this behaviour?
Right now monero doesn't work, move everything to a different coin before monero stops existing forever
it works for me
the feather wallet uses tor by default so maybe recommend that?
I hope well and thoroughly!
(my standard answer to "how did..." questions. =P
It would be an interesting tutorial video to create a VPS (like on DigitalOcean) just to setup a node you trust.
What are your favorite non-KYC exchanges?
Can’t people in EU use VPN to buy monero in USA server then send it to separate wallet?
With these and other "0 day" methods EVERYTHING you do can be recorded on your smartphone especially if you're a target. VPN, Tor, Monero "good OPSEC" etc. doesn't matter if they've recorded everything you do and your passwords, right?
dont use glowing mobile, pc masterrace
Thnx mental
XMR the only coin that beats the system.
does monero has a legal corporation registered? if so put a EULA that running a malicious monero node is in direct breach of teh EULA and that in casa that is true the monero corp can sue whoever made the malicious node, lets use their rules against them
I have never been this early before. Feels nice and happy birthday fren
would only using your wallet on tailsos be a way to avoid this?
What I don't understand is how running your own node is safer. Can they not just see what node a transaction originated from and find the node's IP address?
If a transaction originates at a user's node, peer nodes could totally see where the transaction appears to have come from. However:
1) Not all peer nodes are evil
2) Secure connectivity (e.g., the TOR network) can obfuscate transaction origin
So you're not wrong under some assumptions but you have a choice to change those assumptions such that you're effectively ~safe.
please read how dandelion++ works and how dandelion help hides ur ip
You know dandelion++ exist right?
YAYY new monero video :=)
sweet a new video from my favorite monero shilltuber 👌
Still you can either mine monero or buy it using p2p, I wish the availability was much wider.
What about FeatherWallet? It has a built in option to connect to Tor automatically, doesn't that do the job?
I think you should do a video on P2P "exchanges" where its just 2 strangers agreeing to exchange X amounts of different crypto's. Afaik its probably the best method of directly acquiring XMR as long as your initial setup is secure like you mentioned with temp wallets etc.
Congrats in advance for when you make your thousandth video!
Fortunately (I guess…) I was never able to get on other nodes, so I’ve always ran my own node
How do you find a non KYC exchange?
Good post man
Have you seen the recent andriod blocking sideloading? It's already affecting phones like mine :/
Happy birthday to chad Gentoo man
I've been running my own node for a while now. I have a low power PC that acts as a home server, and I have the node running in Docker.
do you have a link how to configure the wallet and its node correctly locally to be "safe"? newbie here
I'm gonna just run a full node on a dedicated server I have, two 320GB HDDs in RAID1 is nothing.
Will you ever make a video on how to build your own node with Raspberry pi?
holy shit, throwback to when desktop Pcs had CD players and were those shitty dells from school lmao
I miss the old days of trade and barter, then gold came along...
It's easier for your ISP to trace your Node. It's even easier for your hosting company to maliciously modify your Node. Possibilities are ♾️
So develop your threat model. Most people don't have technical expertise to run nodes. It's also very costly. Also, if you can't self-host it, that's another attack surface your are adding.
If you stop paying taxes, these glownigs are out of a job.
Government shut downs disagree.
But when your node broadcast transaction -- it would be possible to trace at which node it first appeared, given enough poisoned nodes.
Not if you enabled tx-proxy on ur node
Question what would be the easiest way to run a remote monero node on a ddns server?
um in new to this what a node?
Nodes maintain the network of transactions and mined blocks. Wallets and miners use the nodes to do their thing.
@@alltheruss dam i know nothing 😭
thought i learned so much more when i learnt about dread and the history of markets but no i don’t know basic crypto stuff 😂
@@clem369 Oh no! Foiled again by another attention seeking flagget! You sure got me Xir.
@@alltheruss?????
I'm gonna prob buy a dual E5 2699 server. Is that good enough for monero mining?
On the topic of an intermediary wallet, what if I was making a new wallet every time I use monero? (Yes this is inefficient, I use monero maybe once or twice a year)
Using anything on mobile for secure communication is the worst thing to do. Cloud communications makes any and all security null and void. All it takes is copy paste if a wallet and law enforcement have enough evidence to prosecute if someone is doing some less than legal.
Don’t forget even on laptop/pc’s I wouldn’t doubt there’s ways for Apple and PC companies to reveal you.
Apple made a change a couple years ago that lets them ignore the network layer, and any encrypted tunnels. Shady af.
@@Chuck8541 Remember when the FBI were up Apple's ass for security, it made national news like a decade ago. Oh how the tides change.
I don't understand. Isn't cloud communications just communicating using a third party server between you and the recipient so if you end to end encrypt you'll be fine, no? And what's being copy pasted, the encrypted information from the server's hard drive?
@@osku388 Keyboards on apple and android have cloud storage on clipboard, the second you copy something like a wallet or an address it's all over.
@@osku388 It depends on the service. Take Signal, for instance. It's End 2 End Encrypted (E2EE), but NOT by default. It has to be turned on in the conversation WHILE the other person is ALSO online. It's such a lame way to enact it.
So for everyone else, they might not even realize they're NOT E2EE. They just hear, 'ooh, Signal is good and secure, I'll use that', but they never turn E2EE on.
We can't trust these companies, they DO NOT have our best interests at heart.
And back to Signal, the French released the CEO, but even though he can't leave France, I wouldn't doubt he gave SOMETHING up to make a deal.
Remember, the Signal CEO HATED Putin, and even left Russia because they wanted him bad. Now a few years later, the Russian Military uses Signal for secure telecom? And now the CEO is also buddy buddy with China's leader, and the Saudi's? All these authoritarian leaders suddenly like the guy? Nah, I don't buy that. Nobody could crack the encryption, they gave him ultimatums/or deals were made, and now they're all chummy. All those people were after that Signal CEO's butt for ages, now they're friends? pffft. I don't trust Signal.
We need an open source blockchain type of thing for telecom. Like Bitcoin, or Monero, but for messaging. There's no way to change a whole blockchain without knowing someone is spying on you.
